I built a site documenting a decade of wasted Irish public money. Every figure sourced to RTÉ, the Irish Times and the C&AG

I've pulled the public spending disasters of the last 10 years into one place. The stuff we all half remember from the news. Seeing them in a row is a lot worse than one at a time.

15 cases. The €336k bike shed, the children's hospital at €2.24bn and counting, €81m paid up front for ventilators that mostly never showed up, the printer too big to fit in the building. For each one: final cost vs original budget, the companies involved, who signed it off (and which government was in at the time), and whether there was even a proper tender. Over €6 billion between them. Two resignations. No sanctions.

Main reason I'm posting: I want it accurate and I'd genuinely appreciate people checking my work. Every figure is sourced (RTÉ, Irish Times, Examiner, TheJournal, C&AG, PAC) with links on each case. But I'm one person and a few details rest on a single article. If a number's off, a company's named wrong, or I've missed a case, tell me and I'll fix it.

No ads, no tracking, nothing for sale. It's having a go at the institutions and the decisions, not the country.
